Chapter 276 98 First-class charlatan

That night, Ruihe encountered an explosion while rescuing Ni Hong. The two were blown apart in the explosion. After that, Ruihe survived under the protection of Lanhuo, fell on the way to the shore, and was finally rescued by Hongkan.

Ni Hong didn't have such luck. All the Tianshis who were rescued later were dead, and they didn't even need to be sent to the hospital. According to Hongkan, that night and the whole day of the next day, rescue ships came and went one by one, and the decks were full of charred corpses.

"Looking for me?" Ruihe hung up the phone, changed clothes, and walked to Hebai's study. The master of Jiqing Temple told him the story again when he saw him. Hebai pretended to go out, and the master of Jiqing Temple raised his hand and pressed him: "No, no."

"Ni Hong told me something on the night of his soul returning, and said that he must tell fellow Daoist Hongzhen. I was busy a few days ago, so I was delayed. I heard that you were discharged from the hospital and I came here quickly." This was a beautiful statement. Ruihe was still in the coffin a few years ago.

Ruihe thanked him: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The head of Jiqing Temple brought Ruihe a very important message.

"Ni Hong said that he had met fellow Daoist Cai Ningzi in Ningjiang. At that time, Cai Ningzi asked him not to tell anyone else. He said that he had noticed the actions of you and fellow Daoist Hong Kan in recent years, and knew that you seemed to be investigating something. Maybe this matter would help your investigation, so he asked me to inform you." He took out an envelope and handed it to Ruihe, "This is the address. Ni Hong also said, thank you for saving him at that time, and hope that you can take good care of your health and everything will go well in the future."

"Thank you." Ruihe took the envelope, opened it and saw that there was indeed an address written inside, which was in Ningjiang.

"Then I will leave first. If you have time to visit Jiqing Temple, I will definitely welcome you." The head of Jiqing Temple stood up, He Bai stood up to see him off, Ruihe also followed for a while, and then turned to find Hong Kan.

Hong Kan was taking a nap. Rui He woke him up and looked at the letter: "This address is unfamiliar. It seems we have to find time to go there."

"That's right."

"Ni Hong... I roughly know what he means. We and Jiqing Temple are local brother Taoist temples. It is right for us to support each other. Next time I will take you to visit Jiqing Temple." Hong Kan made a decision quickly, "You may not know that Minister Zhang revealed that he would pass the position of minister to Ni Hong when he retires."

Rui He really didn't know.

"They have worked together for many years. It's normal to have this idea." Hong Kan put the letter away. "That's a matter for the future. Let's talk about it later!"

That afternoon, they bought tickets to Ningjiang.

Ningjiang is a sad place for the two brothers. When they set foot on this land again, the hesitation and sadness of that year surged up again, making Hong Kan's mood extremely low. The two took a taxi to the address left by Ni Hong. When they arrived, they found that the place had been razed to the ground and the construction team was laying the foundation.

"Demolished?" Ruihe went to the store at the intersection to ask, and got the news that this area had just been demolished. "What about the original residents?"

"Then I don't know, who are you looking for?" The old man in the store was very enthusiastic, "Just tell me, I'm sure I know them all."

Ruihe said a name, and the old man slapped his thigh: "Oh! You are late, he just left last month."

"Gone?" Hong Kan asked anxiously, "Where did he go?"

"He died!" The old man had bad hearing and a loud voice, "Oh! He had a conflict with someone over the demolition fee, and he accidentally had a cerebral hemorrhage and died on the spot!"

This bad news made Ruihe and the others stunned for a moment.

The old man said enthusiastically: "Why are you looking for him? He is not married, and he still has a mother. If you want to find his mother, I can tell you where she lives." After that, he quickly added, "You are not here to cause trouble, right? If you want to cause trouble for her, then I won't tell you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and sat back in his chair.

"Of course I'm not here to cause trouble." Hong Kan took two bottles of water and asked the old man how much it cost, explaining, "Song Jun and I are old friends. We haven't seen each other for decades. I wanted to come and see him. Now that he's gone, I must go visit my aunt. Can you tell me where my aunt lives now?"

The old man adjusted his reading glasses and looked at Hong Kan and Ruihe next to him, and nodded: "It seems that you are not bad people. My eyes are very powerful... Eight yuan, I'll give you two yuan."

The two went to the address of Song Jun's mother. Ni Hong not only left the specific address, but also found out the name of the person Cai Ningzi met at that time. The name Song Jun is very ordinary, and his mother looks like an ordinary old woman.

The old lady looked like she was in her eighties, with gray hair and missing teeth. She was a little vague when she spoke: "Looking for Song Jun? He's gone!"

Hong Kan was very disappointed, but still held a glimmer of hope, and asked the old lady about the news of Master Cai Ningzi. Unexpectedly, although the old lady was old, her memory was very good, and she still remembered Cai Ningzi who came to visit her home a few years ago.

"Oh, I know. Long hair, tied up here, like the ghost catcher on TV, right?"

Hong Kan nodded in surprise: "Yes, that's him."

The old lady's face changed: "Who are you to him?"

"We are--"

Rui He grabbed Hong Kan, and his men tried to stop him. He turned to the old lady and smiled: "Grandma, we are here to collect debts. He owes us a lot of money. We searched for a long time before we found out that he had been to your house."

Hong Kan was a little anxious. His thoughts were very orthodox and he respected his master. At first, he couldn't understand why his junior brother suddenly wanted to conceal his relationship with his master and even distort his image. However, he quickly realized that there was indeed something wrong with the old lady's face just now. If he told the truth, he might not be able to find out anything.

After realizing this, Hong Kan calmed down and cooperated with Rui He in acting.

After coaxing the old lady, the two got some clues from the old lady. It turned out that Song Jun was lost when he was a child, and it was not until more than ten years ago that mother and son met on the roadside. The old lady recognized that he was her son, cried with joy, and took him home.

"You don't know, the first time I saw him, I thought I was seeing my old man who had died long ago. The two of them looked exactly the same!" the old lady said with a nostalgic look on her face, "I thought he was pitiful, so I bought him steamed buns to eat. After a few words, I found out that he was an orphan and had wandered here. What a coincidence! After asking a few more words, I found out that he was my son who had been missing for decades. "

"He doesn't like to talk. He buries his head all day long, and his body looks very bad. Alas..."

"Occasionally he goes out and wears rags. He refuses to wear the new clothes I bought for him. He just wears beggar's clothes. What a shame..."

"That person? Didn't that person come to my house a few years ago? I don't know what he said to my Song Jun. Song Jun was in a bad mood for several days. When I asked him, he said that it was that person who harmed him. My son doesn’t like him, so of course I don’t like him, that’s just the way I am.”

At the end of the sentence, the old lady's eyes filled with tears: "I followed him so much, but he still left me. There were so many people making trouble about the demolition, so I told him that you were not in good health, so don't rely on him." It was too close, and you could just stand on the side, but he died anyway. My neighbor said that my Song Jun didn’t quarrel at all, he fell down while standing. This is because God wants to take him away..."

"Is there anything Song Jun can show us?" Ruihe asked.

The old lady took out an iron box and said: "These are all his, you can take a look if you want." Because of the demolition, the old lady cleared out many things, and only an iron box was left for her son Song Jun's relics. He took out the box and showed it to Rui and the others, "He likes this diary the most. He keeps looking at it."

The diary is the kind of locked diary that is very common among students. "Can this diary be given to us? We can buy it. Maybe it has the name of the old gentleman who owes us money written in it."

The old lady hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "I'm illiterate. If you want, just take it."

Before leaving, Ruihe left a thousand yuan to the old lady and said, "It's fate that I can come to your home today. I'll see you again in the future."

The old lady still liked Zhili's younger generation very much. She sent the two of them out with a smile: "When you come back next time, I will live in a new house. It will be much more spacious by then and I can let you eat."

Back in the car, Ruihe opened the diary. "

The lock of the diary was not difficult to open. Rui He directly removed the lock. The two of them started to read. The first dozen pages were written scatteredly. Song Jun was expressing the dissatisfaction of life, full of curses and hatred. There is a strong sense of resentment in the text.

After turning a few more pages, Ruihe stopped turning the pages, and it read:

"I saw him, and he looked very surprised. I didn't want to, but I hated him, very much."

"Looking at the date, it happens to be the month when the master came to Ningjiang a few years ago." Rui He turned his head and said to Hong Kan, "It seems that the beggar Yun Lei and the others saw are the same person as Song Jun!"

This may be huge.

"Look behind you!"

The content at the end changed, "Is this a life-borrowing technique? Let me see -" Hong Kan turned over a dozen pages in succession, and the following diary entries were all records of life-borrowing techniques, such as What materials need to be used, where to buy them, etc.

The last page read: "The opportunity has come. This time I am sorry for you, but I can only hate you."

The diary is over.

Ruihe and Hongkan looked at each other.

"He should be the one who used the life-borrowing technique on the master."

Hong Kan nodded: "They should have a long-standing grudge...forget it, Hong Zhen, let's just stop here."

At that time, Cainingzi did not pursue the case. After running away, he made a special trip here to see the Song army, and then went to the old site of Qingyun Mountain to wait for death. It can be seen that Cainingzi went to death voluntarily.

The deceased has passed away, and the murderer has also died. For the two of them, it is enough to untie the knot they have had in the past few years and confirm that there is no big conspiracy behind the master's death. There is really no need to dig into the private affairs of their elders.

Ruihe agreed: "Okay."

Neither of them expected that their trip to Ningjiang would end like this. "Perhaps our thinking has gone astray and connected the Zhang family with the master's death. In fact, the master bought Xu Yun Mingxiang from the Zhang family. It may be that Because there is an origin that we don't know about." Hong Kan said, "Fortunately, we didn't investigate it rashly, otherwise it would have been too troublesome and embarrassing for the master."

Returning to Helian Temple, Rui He was so tired that he had a headache from riding back and forth all afternoon. His current body was really not suitable for going out. After going out, Ruihe rested for two days before regaining his strength. He laughed at himself: "This is too weak." His expression made Hong Kan laugh.

Rui He started to go to work. Without Ni Hong, Rui He and Hong Kan needed to divide into the three shifts. Minister Zhang said: "The headquarters has issued a recruitment announcement, and the recruitment will start on the 1st of next month to fill the gaps." There are vacancies everywhere.”

The Qi Yunhai incident killed too many talents from many sects. Not only the special adjustment office, but also the Taoist Association also had many vacancies.

"There are many people to be recruited this time. If you have relatives or friends who want to join the system, you can sign up. The chances of being admitted are very high."

"Okay, thank you Minister Zhang for reminding me." Hong Kan thanked him.

"Not busy." Minister Zhang chuckled and looked at Ruihe, "I'm going to retire. My body can't take it anymore. I have submitted a letter of resignation to the headquarters and proposed to give the position of minister to you."

Ruihe was stunned.

The author has something to say: I was wrong! ! The time was set wrong! ! ! ! !

Ahhh bang bang head! !

I'm sending a red envelope today to express my apology. Bow,
